Impressive, on a number of levels!

With a tiny bit of luck and care, his great-grandchildren will learn to play chess on that board.

Nice job, especially to have those skills at such a young age.
Drawer construction is impressive.
His first family heirloom?

Very impressive work, and he showed significant initiative as well.

Nicely done.

Very impressive!

One question if I may. What is the purpose of the corner elements, just a design characteristic or functional of some sort?

Also, if you and your son haven’t already done so now is the time to start a portfolio. Include time spent, tools used and your photos. Not only will it help him remember years down the road, but he can use it during interviews to show his capabilities.

What a wonderful heirloom he created. He will enjoy this accomplishment for a very long time.
Wondering if he will try to learn to wood-turn the rest of the pieces?
Congratulations on a job well done.

Very nice, it's a good looking piece, built one back in Jr High in shop sans the cabinet. Still remember the process, it got lost in a move long ago, wish I still had it, he'll enjoy that for many years.

Coming from someone from someone with little to no mechanical ability, what he did was fantastic. I'm so impressed, both with what you told us about him and what he did making the chess board.

Thank you for sharing.

This will make for a great father - son memory for both your lifetimes. Plus that's a damn fine piece of work your boy crafted! Congrats to you both!
